MotionPhone released for iPad and iPhone « Snibbe App Store MotionPhone App Enables a new Form of Visual Communication San Francisco, April 19, 2012 MotionPhone, a new app for the iPhone and iPad, enables a unique form of visual communication, allowing people to create animations together on iPads and iPhones. The app, created by Scott Snibbe Studio, is the company’s first release since producing Björk’s groundbreaking Biophilia App Album last year, and is a similarly innovative combination of interactive visuals with music. In MotionPhone, fingers’ movements become colorful dancing abstract shapes whose personality comes directly from the way one moves. “Each person moves differently and naturally creates their own original style of animation.” said Scott Snibbe, the app’s creator, “Each of our movements are as original and recognizable as our face or the way we walk, and with MotionPhone, it’s the first time we get to see these traces of movement.” As its name suggests, MotionPhone is more than an animation program.

A team of researchers working in bio-comms have just received what can only be described as an archaic communication method, a letter... Dear Humanity, We have to talk. Let's just say that our relationship has been a bit challenging lately. We've had some ups and downs for sure, the ups of global temperatures and carbon in the atmosphere, and the downs such as the variety of species still sharing our planet. As you know, I'm a bit concerned about our future. These "synthetic" organisms you're playing with, what are they going to be when they grow up? These "synthetic" organisms you're playing with, what are they going to be when they grow up?

Painting Hundertwasser painted wherever he was, at home, in nature and on the road, in cafés and restaurants, on the train or on aeroplanes, in hotels or at the homes of friends or acquaintances he was visiting. He had no studio and did not paint at an easel, but instead spread the canvas or sheet of paper flat in front of him. When he was on the road it could happen that he folded the paper, painting only on the visible part of his work. He either took his paintings on trips, or he left them at his places of residence and continued to paint them as soon as he returned. Hundertwasser made many of his paints himself. He painted with watercolours, in oil and with egg tempera, with shiny lacquers and ground earth. He experimented with many techniques and invented new ones. He painted on found materials, for example on pieces of plywood, which he fitted together, as shown in work 904 Pellestrina Wood, or on a switchboard, as in 816 Switch Board.
Jeremy Geddes Artista recrea nubes en el interior de una galería Entre el angel y el fantasma emergen coquetas nubes que quedan suspendidas al interior de espacios vacíos dentro de una galería. De acuerdo al sitio web Pijamasurf, se trata de la obra del artista holandés Berndaut Smilde, quien logra reproducir nubes “reales” en interiores. A diferencia de proyectos “similares” en los que artistas recurren a ilusiones ópticas, tecnologías digitales, o extrañas combinaciones de polímeros para recrear elementos que remitan a entidades nubosas, y cuyas obras distan de consumar la ligereza estética que se alcanza en este caso, Smilde utiliza una combinación entre humo, humedad, y precisión lumínica, que le permiten crear estos seres tan deleitables como efímeros. Fue en 2010 cuando el holandés obtuvo el primero de los resultados de su larga experimentación con estos cuerpos. Para más información sobre la obra de Smilde visita su sitio oficial:
